Use the Lame codec - it's going to sound a whole lot better than the iTunes codec. A ton of work by a lot of smart people has gone into Lame, and it's pretty dang good.

I also use CDex. I have also tried/used Razorlame, but Razorlame doesn't use the CDDB (or I couldn't get it to work...). CDex offers the same configuration and VBR, but CDDB also works. I haven't needed another.
CDDB = CD DataBase, for song/album info.

Does CDex use the Lame codec or something else? There's got to be some Lame frontend that uses CDDB, I'd think.

Here's one of the first Google results, good sir.

He's not quite correct though - iTunes doens't use the Fraunhofer codec, but one they wrote themselves. Certainly not Lame. From this article:

The ultimate source...if you open up iTunes and go to "about," you'll read that
So it's a little fuzzy on what it actually is, but the bottom line is that whatever it is, it ISN'T Lame.
